This is an surprising, yet alright album

"First off, this album really surprised me because it is a pretty solid album. I think it is low for Tha Realest and Topp Dogg to sound EXACTLY like Tupac and Snoop, but their songs are pretty tight. I like "Gotta Love Gangstas" and that other song with Mac-Shawn and E-40. I think this is a better album than " Too Gangsta For Radio", because this dosen't waist too much time dissing other more successful rappers like Dre. But the best songs on this entire album are Tupac's hands down. "Late Night" just took over the whole album in terms of being a well produced track. "Mr. Officer" is cool also but I couldn't stand to hear Michel'le's annoying voice when she dosen't sing. If you are tired of cheaply produced No Limit-like songs then this solid album is for you, but if you don't want to hear the style- biting that this album has, then you might want to look elsewhere."

It was alright

"I must say it's not the best edited cd you could get, but it was still pretty good. Dr. Dre sued Suge Knight for making this and the explicit version...in my opinion, I think the Explicit Version would be better because they cut out every little thing on this album. And they don't use sound effects to cover it up, they simply just blank it out. But that's an edited cd, I guess. I unfortunetly picked up the edited version without noticing, and to my surprize, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but it wasn't as good as I thought it would be either. So I couldn't really know what to say about this, except, get the explicit version. It's better...also some good cds like it would be Dr. Dre's 2001, Ice Cube's War and Peace vol. 1, or The Friday soundtrack. Hope this was helpful to anyone who needed help on making this certain decision..."
